Representations of quantized coordinate algebras via PBW-type elements

Abstract

Inspired by the work of Kuniba-Okado-Yamada, we study some tensor product representations of quantized coordinate algebras of symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras in terms of quantized enveloping algebras. As a consequence, we describe structures and properties of certain reducible representations of quantized coordinate algebras. This paper includes alternative proofs of Soibelman's tensor product theorem and Kuniba-Okado-Yamada's common structure theorem based on our direct calculation method using global bases.
